The last two weeks in June, Cooper took private swimming lessons. There were 8 kids in his class and he had a fun time. He seems to be more comfortable in the water now, especially dipping his head under the water. 
He does a great job of floating on his back and holding his breath in the water. In fact, he could hold his breath the longest of all the kids. At first he wanted to plug his nose with his hand, but the teacher started pulling his hand off his nose and he learned real quickly to hold his breath without using his hands!
He has a harder time of actually swimming on his stomach, but he will get better as we spend more time in the water. The kids all had a great time, even though it was hard at times for them to listen and focus on the teacher.
We will definately do swimming lessons again next year! The price was reasonable and it gave us something to do for a few weeks.
